McAdams, Pres.
A replica of the first-McCorm-
ick reaper, made in 1831, and a
1902 automobile made by the In-
ternational Harvester Company
centered the attention of a large
group of farmers and ranchers
who attended the centennial cele-
bration held in Canadian last
Thursday by W. W. Davis and
Sons, local dealers for the Mc-
Cormick-Deering line.
Vieing in interest with these
mechanical masterpieces of earl-
ier days were the new Interna-
tiona] truck, a new cream separ-
ator and a new milker, models
of the Farmall tractor and other
machinery made by the Interna-
tional Harvester Company.
Lunch was served to more than
250 persons at the noon hour and
approximately 450 seats were
filled at the Queen Theatre where
a program of movies and instruc-
tive talks were presented during
the afternoon.
Members of the local dealer
'.organization introduced during
the celebration included W. W.
Davis, Mason Davis, Wesley
Davis. Chas. Miller. Ted Lorenz
and J. R. Saxon. Members of
the Internationa! Harvester org-
anization presented at the event
included W. R. Avin. Jr., assist-
ant manager of the Amarillo
branch, W. T. Wheeler, chief of
the service department, M'r. T.
W. Chumney. advertising .manag-
er, A. J. Rawlings, blockman, and
R. Kinser, representative from
Follett.
Unusual interest was -mani-
fested toward the machinery on
display and during the motion
pictures and talks during the
afternoon, and according to Mason
Davis, manager of the local deal-
ership, the demonstration was
successful from every viewpoint.
UNDER THE NEW TAX LAW
Texas state an<f county taxes will become delinquent
October 15, 1931, instead of February I, under the new
tax law. Interest at the rate of 10 percent per annum
will be charged from February 1, on state and county
taxes. After October 15, the interest rate reduced to 6
percent, and a penalty of 5 percent is added after that
date.
Any taxpayer may pay half or all of his taxes at any
iime before the delinquency date, October 15. In the
event a half-payment is made on state and' county taxes,
the ten percent interest on th amount paid stops at once
but continues to apply to the unpaid half.
Persons operating cars on which license fees have
not been paid, after January 31, are subject not only to a
fine but also to being compelled to pay the license fee,
plus the 20 percent penalty.

ADVERTISING, THE DRIVE
WHEEL, SAYS BABSON
CHURCH BENEFIT
WELL ATTENDED
"TOO MANY VALENTINES" IS
WELL PRESENTED BY
LOCAL CAST.
Roger W. Babson, the great
writer on financial subjects,
recommends more advertising to
encourage buying. When the
surplus of mass production is
consumed by mass consumption
the retailers will begin to buy
more from the wholesale merch-
ant. Then the wholesale merch-
ant will order from the factories.
Then the factory wheels will turn
to produce more and raw pro-
ducts will be needed.
Advertising is ideally fitted
and competent to accelerate the
circulation. It is the most ef-
fective known force for accomp-
lishing the speeding up of money
and thereby giving us more busi-
ness at times when more busi-
ness is the nation's greatest
need.
There never was more money
than there is today. Banks hold
it, corporations hold it, the people
hold' it. That is the trouble, the
money is held instead of circu-
lated. A beautiful system of
piping, a plentiful supply of fluid,
but the whole mechanism fails
to function for want of the pump-
ing power of publicity to tell
the world of better goods, lower
prices and greater service. We
need a sound plan to reduce the
choppy action of business and
promote smoothness and steadi-
ness of growth.
Advertising is the sorely need-
ed governor of business. It re-
quires no novel mechanism. AH
the apparatus is available.
Though capable of illimitable
improvement, the fundamental
principles of advertising are
clearly established; its practice
is a well-known art.
The basic cause at which the
jobless should shake their fists
is not that too few mills are
running, but that too few adver-
tising campaigns are running.—
William A. Summerill, in the
Penns Grove (N. J.) Record.

Mr. and Mrs. Bill Mathews an-
nounce the birth of a baby daugh-
ter, born February 9, to whom
they have given the name Helen
Madeline.
The Methodist Church took in
$107 in receipts from the three-
act comedy, "Too Many Valen-
tines," played at the Municipal
Auditorium Tuesday night.
Erman Gray and his cast pre-
sented the comedy remarkably
well and drew many laughs from
the audience. Mr. Gray played
the leading role and was well
supported by Clancy Fisher, H.
V. DeArmond, Mrs. Grav, Lona
Willis, Beth Powell, M. W. Mc-
Intyre and George Carver. Bill
Wood was stage manager; W. L.
Austin, electrician and Mr. Cain,
Assistant. ■
'i'he High School orchestra
played, before the curtain went
up on the first act, a piece that
will be used when the band com-
petes at Amarillo, in March. A
choral number, between acts, by
a black-face group was well re-
ceived.
A big hit of the evening was
a concert by the Junior Band.
Numerous solos made that at-
traction a wonderfully entertain-
ing feature. Another between-
act number was the playing of
several pieces by Mr. and Mrs.
Krman Gray, Mr. Eiland and W.
O. Cotton, Jr. Mr. Gray played
the marimbaphone, M'r. Eiland
the banjo, Mr. Gotten the traps
and Mrs. Gray the piano.

Canadian Chamber of Commerce,
the Kiwanis Club and the Rotary

Albert Knollenberg, mayor, in
answer to a request that the City

lows:
February 4, 1931.
Mr. L. A. McAdams,
Chamber of Commerce,
Mr. H. J. Buckner, Kiwanis Club,
Mr. R. IL Stone, Rotary Club,
Canadian, Texas.
Dear Sirs:—
On January 20, 1931, Mr. L.
A. McAdams, Mr. A. O. Buckner
and several other tax payers of
the City of Canadian, appeared
before the City Commission call-
ing for relief on City taxes by
requesting an extension of time.
The City Commission granted the
request and extended the time
for paying City taxes to June 30,
1931, with a charge of 6% in-
terest from February 1st to date
of payment.
In view of this fact the City
Commission is not in position at
this time to entertain a proposi-
ton to buy street signs as recom-
mended by you in your recent
letter, and I notify you of the
action in the matter.
Yours truly,
ALBERT KNOLLENBERG,

K. J. Cussen addressed the
Rotary. Club Tuesday noon, on
"Abraham Lincoln." The speak-
er said, in his opinion. Lincoln
was the greatest statesman Am-
erica has ever had or likely ever

Lincoln, "that a government of
the people, by the people and for
the people, shall not perish from
the earth."
Mr. Cussen said the people
should see to it that this country
is prepared for war and thus
help to keep peace. He advocated

the club, declared Lincoln is the
greatest man that ever lived,
excepting the Man of Galilee.
Judge W. L. Helton was a guest
of the club.
